Precision Twist Drill 6001060 Taper Shank Drill Bit 19/64

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001060 is a taper shank drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. Built from high speed steel with an oxide finish, it delivers reliable performance in production and maintenance environments. The bit measures 0.2969 inches (19/64 inch) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned tip that reduces thrust and improves penetration. Overall length is 6.375 inches. The spiral flute geometry provides efficient chip evacuation during right-hand cutting operations. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-room professionals are the typical users of this drill bit.

This bit suits drilling applications in general machining, fabrication shops, and maintenance repair operations where a No. 1 Morse taper (1MT) spindle is available. It fits drill presses, lathes, and milling machines equipped with a 1MT taper receiver. The 3.125-inch flute length supports moderate-depth holes at the 19/64-inch diameter. Its ANSI-standard geometry makes it a straightforward drop-in for any setup that calls for a 1MT taper shank bit in this size range.

Key Features

• 19/64 inch (0.2969 inch) diameter with consistent ground tolerances per ANSI standards
• No. 1 Morse taper (1MT) shank for secure, self-holding fit in compatible spindles
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip reduces entry thrust
• High speed steel construction handles general-purpose drilling across a wide range of workpiece materials
• Oxide finish provides mild lubricity and corrosion resistance during storage and use
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular spiral type for efficient chip clearance

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for any drill press, lathe, or milling machine spindle that accepts a No. 1 Morse taper (1MT) shank. Conforms to ANSI standards for taper shank drill bits in the Series 209 product line.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified tool-room technician should install this bit. Ensure the machine spindle and the 1MT taper surfaces are clean and free of chips or burrs before seating the shank. Use a proper drift key and soft mallet to seat and remove the taper shank — never apply side force to the flutes. Power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling in accordance with applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures.
